You're probably still in a Thanksgiving food coma, but once you’ve had time to recover, you’ll realize the Christmas season is finally here!

For many people, Christmas is hands down the most wonderful time of the year. But even if your hero is the Grinch, here are six things you can look forward to this holiday season.

1. Holiday Movies

Everyone has at least one Christmas movie they love. Whether it’s watching 'Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer' once, or 'Elf' so many times you can quote the whole thing, movies are part of the holiday season.

2. Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Let’s be honest, going to Goodwill with a bunch of friends and rummaging through their selection of Christmas sweaters is better than chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Especially since the ugly sweaters are also the comfiest.

3. Christmas Music

Whether you play Christmas music all day every day or can only handle one song a day, it’s not the holiday season until you’ve sung “Jingle Bells” at least once.

4. School Is Almost Out

You just have to make it a couple more weeks, and then you’re done! Sweet freedom is Santa’s gift to you.

5. Hot Chocolate is Bae

Even if it’s just the watered down, free hot chocolate you get at a parade...it’s free and it’s chocolate. It’s time to look at your Pinterest board and try a new recipe! Hot chocolate will keep you warm while you watch Netflix instead of doing that term paper.

6. Christmas Lights

Christmas lights are great on a tree, on a house, in the streets, and on a mouse! Ok, maybe not on a mouse, but Christmas lights are definitely one of the best parts of Christmas. Go on a drive with close friends and get lost in a winter wonderland.

Merry Christmas! Let's start counting down the days!
